Bacterial vaginosis, also known as vaginal bacteriosis, is the most common cause of vaginal infection for women of childbearing age.

It frequently develops after sexual intercourse with a new partner, and it is rare for a woman to have it if she has never had sexual intercourse.

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) also increases the risk of developing a sexually transmitted infection (STI). However, BV is not considered an STI.

BV is the vaginal infection most likely to affect women between the ages of 15 and 44 years.

Fast facts about bacterial vaginitis

Bacterial vaginitis (BV) is the most common vaginal infection among women aged 15 to 44 years.
Symptoms, if they appear, may include itching and a gray, watery discharge with a “fishy” smell.
Untreated BV can lead to serious complications.
Treatment is normally with antibiotics.
Some home remedies are suggested, but anyone with symptoms should see a doctor.

HIV infection, as BV increases susceptibility to the virus
STIs, such as the herpes simplex virus, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and human papilloma virus (HPV)
post-surgical infection, for example, after a termination or a hysterectomy

Possible complications of BV during pregnancy include:

early, or preterm, delivery
loss of pregnancy
the amniotic sac breaking open too early
postpartum endometritis, an irritation or inflammation of the lining of the uterus after delivery
tubal factor infertility, caused by damage to the fallopian tubes, which connect the ovaries to the uterus
chorioamnionitis, an inflammation of the membranes surrounding the fetus, known as the chorion and the amnion

Chorioamnionitis significantly increases the chance of an early delivery. If the newborn survives, they have a higher risk of cerebral palsy.

In-vitro fertilization (IVF) may be less likely to succeed if a woman has BV.

BV also increases the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), an infection and inflammation of the upper female genital tract that can have severe consequences, including infertility.

BV is caused by an imbalance of naturally occurring bacterial flora, the usual bacteria found in a woman’s vagina. Why this happens is not clear.

It is different from candidiasis, a yeast infection, or Trichomonas vaginalis (T. vaginalis), or trichomoniasis, also known as trich. These are not caused by bacteria

The role of bacteria

All parts of the body have bacteria, but some are beneficial while others are harmful. When there are too many harmful bacteria, problems can arise.

The vagina contains mostly “good” bacteria and some harmful bacteria. BV occurs when the harmful bacteria grow in numbers.

A vagina should contain bacteria called lactobacilli. These bacteria produce lactic acid, making the vagina slightly acidic. This prevents other bacteria from growing there.

Lower levels of lactobacilli may cause the vagina to become less acidic. If the vagina is not as acidic as it should be, this can give other bacteria the chance to grow and thrive. However, exactly how these harmful bacteria are linked with BV is not known.

Risk factors

Any woman can develop BV, but some behaviors or activities can increase the risk.

These include:

douching, or using water or a medicated solution to clean the vagina
having a bath with antiseptic liquids
having a new sex partner
having multiple sex partners
using perfumed bubble baths, vaginal deodorants, and some scented soaps
smoking
washing underwear with strong detergents

Some doctors recommend giving BV treatment to all women who will be undergoing a hysterectomy or termination, before the procedure, regardless of symptoms.

Male partners do not usually need treatment, but they can spread BV between female sex partners.

Antibiotic medication

Antibiotics are effective in up to 90 percent of cases, but BV often comes back again within a few weeks.

Metronidazole is the most common antibiotic for BV.

Oral antibiotics are normally effective against BV.

Clindamycin is an alternative antibiotic. It may be used if metronidazole is not effective, or if the infection recurs.

When taking clindamycin, barrier contraception methods, such as latex condoms, diaphragms, and caps may be less effective.

Tinidazole is another antibiotic that is sometimes used to treat BV if metronidazole does not work or if BV recurs. It is taken by mouth as a single dose. Alcohol must be avoided when taking this medication.

If the following happens, further tests will be needed:

symptoms persist
symptoms go away but come back
the patient is pregnant

If symptoms resolve after completing a course of antibiotics, the woman will not have to be tested for BV again.

Around 30 percent of women whose symptoms disappear with treatment will have a recurrence within 3 months, and 50 percent will have a recurrence within 6 months.

This may be treated with a 7-day course of oral or vaginal metronidazole or clindamycin. If the previous treatment was by mouth, vaginal treatment might work better the second time, and if the first treatment was vaginal, the follow-up treatment should be by mouth.

If more than three episodes occur within 12 months, the doctor may prescribe a vaginal metronidazole gel to use twice a week for 3 to 6 months.
